Abstract	Plans for the field-testing and implementation of the Accreditation Plus Model (APM) for evaluation of teacher preparation programs are described. Field-testing is taking place in the Center for Teacher Education Evaluation at Tennessee Technological University (Cookeville). The APM is based on the professional judgment approach to program evaluation and includes seven major components: (1) student growth outcomes; (2) teacher education candidates; (3) teacher education program; (4) application of the APM; (5) application of the Joint Committee Standards for Evaluation; (6) evaluation beyond accreditation--the "Plus" of the APM; and (7) formative and summative evaluations. A manual is being assembled under the working title "Implementation of the Accreditation Plus Model" with 18 chapters relating to teacher education evaluation. As the manual nears completion, the center is soliciting feedback on its use in particular evaluation settings. An opportunity for input into the manual will come in the center's conference in Nashville, Tennessee, April 30-May 2, 1989. The APM and the manual should be of value to institutions of all sizes preparing for and maintaining accreditation or approval of teacher education programs. One flowchart presents the APM. (SLD)
